The hydrogen industry has seen a significant acceleration of activity recently, with new projects, pilot studies and commercial partnerships. It has been the subject of significant attention before. This time, the hype may be warranted, analysts say, and 2021 is likely to see even more activity.
December, in particular, was extremely busy for us, said Vinayaka Nakul Prasad, corporate strategy manager for Siemens Energy. In one month, the company launched four projects tied to Siemens Energy s electrolysis or hydrogen gas turbine businesses, dispersed across three continents. But Prasad expects even more to come in 2021.

This is the highest burst to be detected since 2008 by NASA satellites
A giant flare that swept through the solar system in April sent scientists on investigation deep into space to uncover the high-energy burst s origin – and the hunt is finally over.
A group of researchers led by the University of Johannesburg revealed the explosion, dubbed GRB 200415A, was released from a magnetar a neutron star with a strong magnetic field – located in a spiral galaxy 11.4 million light-years away.
The elusive visitor flew past Mars in the early hours of April 15 which was picked up by a number of satellites, including the International Space Station, sparking the search outside of the Milky Way and to the distant galaxy NGC 253.

LAGOS (Reuters) - Solar power supplier Starsight has expanded a senior debt facility by $10 million to broaden its offerings and generation capacity in Nigeria and Ghana, the company said on Thursday.
The expanded facility, completed with development financiers Finnfund and Norfund, doubles the existing debt facility the company has with them and is the second time a solar company in the region has secured millions in funding this week.
On Tuesday, Daystar Power announced $38 million in funding, mostly from development finance institutions, to expand West Africa operations.
Grids across Africa do not generate enough power, and solar companies are seeking to fill a gap now largely met by privately owned diesel- or gasoline-powered generators. In Nigeria, such generators not connected to the grid provide at least four times as much electricity as the grid itself.
